Tacticslion: Interesting idea. I'll have to look up how long bears live.

Natural werebears might change form a bit more than an infected werewolf and for shorter periods of time, which could make it far more complicated. It's also possible that they might not shapechange for months at a time.

I've always just assumed that being the same overall entity that there would be one age progression.

Thanks for sharing! I'll have to think that one over. Maybe just handwave/guesstimate a slower aging rate for the bear form.

Do PF werewolfs even age at the normal rate? Fictional werewolves tend not to.

Good question. I assumed that they did. I'm wondering if there is any mention in other versions, 2E, 3.5, etc?

Edit: It seems that they might not address lycanthrope aging because they don't want to encourage their use as PCs. Monster aging is rarely noted in the bestiaries except in a few cases like serpentfolk.

Thanks for the replies!

I figured this was a GM call. I scoured the rules and boards to no avail, but I thought someone might have caught something that I missed.

I think I'm going with yes, too. It seems likely that the bonuses (+2 STR +2 CON) would remain but the overall stats for the animal form would change. Nonetheless, an old grizzly bear is still a mighty beast!

thanks again

Greetings all, first time posting here so I apologize in advance for any gaffs on my part.

I am working on a high level monster hunting campaign I'll be GMing when our current group reaches 12th level.

One of the party NPCs will be a werebear groom. He is 54 years old which would put him into the 'old' category.

My question is, when the base creature ages, would this also alter the stats for the base animal?

(If anyone is interested in the campaign or party builds I'm playing around with, feel free to feel free and I'd be more than happy to share. I think I have some interesting characters, backstories and all, as well as a rather dark setting with diseased and inhibited magic-- aka The Blight.)

Thanks
